We now have a page showing where the queue has been to try to help judge how fast it is growing.

Some helpful timings from last night

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@julesmchamish @WiseyCabby @DCMS I presume the snake only goes as far as the w3w location they are giving out, so there is still a lot of park for people to mill about before the queue reopens.

They just need to hope that people do stop going to the park for the next few hours.

@JonArmstrongLaw Is that officially the queue or is it the queue for the queue?

Large numbers of people are still joining thousands already in the queue at Southwark Park, with crowds entering the park from at least two gates. Police here say they have not yet been told to close the park or the end of the queue #QueueForTheQueen

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@rcmoorey @Zexit7 @DCMS Ah that is helpful, do you reckon that it could take 6+ hours just to clear the snake at the park now then?

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@pjburrage @BBCBreaking Yes, not quite sure how this works in practice. I guess if they make the zigzag at Southwark Park the only place to get the wristbands then that is where you'll need to be when it reopens?

[Ben @welpmaster]

@back_queue joined at 9pm made it to the bandstand in Southwark park.

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

Back of the queue does appear to be extending into Southwark Park now according to official feed. Anyone in the park zigzag right now?

@julesmchamish @MrsBargain It is odd, we just had a new update, allegedly we're now into the park but I think realistically when people arrive at the back they are just walking about a half a mile before reaching an actual static queue

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

Queue is growing quite quickly right now. Think it might reach Southwark Park this evening. Not sure what happens then, do you have to queue for the queue?

Looks like queue is shortening again, no official update for a while

[Dr Liam Sims @liamsims]

Joined #TheQueue at 19.30 precisely, somewhere near Southwark Park. Going to tweet along to try & keep myself sane. Stay tuned!

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@julesmchamish Now very close to Southwark Park. Do you think the mileage will max out at 5 even if they are zigzagging through the park?

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@MrsBargain Looks like it might reach the park in the next half hour or so, although this might just be a brief post work surge and queue will shorten again soon.

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@lynseyabernethy @QE2Queue Thanks for that update. The queue has grown really quickly in the past hour according to the tracker, good to hear things are quite spread out at that point

[Julie McHamish @julesmchamish]

/28 Its what you've all been waiting for - a chart showing the entire length of the #QueueForTheQueen by time of day, INCLUDING LANDMARKS.
At 17:00 today, the end of the queue was 4.2 miles, between Mill St & Chambers St.
At 02:00 this morning, the end was at HMS Belfast!

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

@samcgui76 Thanks for the updates! I know people will really appreciate it.

I've heard that zigzag by parliament can take 2-3 hours, but some conflicting reports.

[Back of the Queue @back_queue]

So currently 2 hours from Providence Square (still the rough area of the back of the queue) to Blackfriars Bridge.

I have seen suggestions of the wait from Blackfriars being around 6 hours. (under 5 hours this morning https://t.co/hHu7QazLlQ)

@GD10 Appears to now be growing again in the past half an hour
